[Tonga Bob]

Stay dry and warm kids

It will be interesting to see what impact the potential weather tonight has on our game. This is one everyone seems to have pencilled in for a percentage builder but I'm less convinced the closer we get to game time. It'll be a good test, a team that is clearly well below our level, at home, in conditions we're generally unfamiliar with. The Dockery way would be to lose, or win but in an unconvincing inaccurate manner. Guess we'll find out in about 4.5 hours.

I've been saying since before the Sydney game. Classic dockery beat Sydney and lose to the tigers.

10 goal win and no injuries would be a great result.

No chance in this weather

 

[Grape Bear]

Under some overhead thing - so kind of winning

No chance in this weather

Not impossible at all. Let's say a big win. I don't want to be stressing out halfway through the last quarter.

Radar suggests the rain should clear by bouncedown.

After seeing that photo in an online newspaper today of Jye lying on the ground with the Richmond players’s knee pressed into his throat, it stirred up some fresh rage for these Richmond campaigners.

They had better not go after the kid again tonight and I hope the Umpires have been put on notice to watch for it.

I’m pretty sure that it was after that previous Richmond game that JL spoke out publically about Jye’s treatment by their thug defenders.

It was disgraceful that the Umps ignored it throughout the game.

We expect better from them.

Yep it was pretty shit conduct by some senior Richmond players *Baker in particular) in regard to the treatment of Amiss last time. Im tipping Sturt and Amiss both have good games tonight despite the weather.

Cmon boys, can't let you guard down for a moment in this comp get the job done tonight.

 

[Grape Bear]

More of an English drizzle right now, but it’s fairly breezy. Seems to be blowing towards the cheer squad goal end where I’m sat.

It’s an hour to bounce down but it looks like maybe a fair few people have decided to stay home?

ABC 720 if you can't stand ads, 6PR otherwise

Tiges actually played pretty well to HT last week. Teams around us are winning so we need to keep up. No excuses

 

[Tonga Bob]

Is the game starting anytime soon?

 

[Grape Bear]

I’m surrounded by an older vintage in my seat - so will have to behave myself!
